Ignoring the whole expandable tables thing for a second, using divs isn't that much of a pain, using anything for the first time is sometimes troublesome. Table behaviour changes depending on browsers too.
I read an article on 'three columns and a footer' layouts with divs and the conclusion was that css1 and css2 doesn't have anything that suits this layout. Apparently even css3 doesn't address the issue completely, although the author did say a few things looked interesting. If I find the article again I'll post the link. Join http://www.css-discuss.org/ and search the archives for tons of info on this.

Bearing in mind that this could start a war... What are people's opinions on using <div>s + CSS for layout over <table>s? I am thinking specifically for new sites (not re-designing old sites etc). <div>s... Pros: CSS is for design and styling and <div>'s can be controlled by CSS Cons: <table>s are simple and widely used and effective. <div>s can be complicated to implement cross-browser (because MS can't produce a standards compliant browser unless they make their own standards). Thoughts?
